What are you buying your three year old boy?

[LazyLondoner]

Looking for present suggestions for my son who will be 3.5 this christmas. He already has a scooter, a bike, wooden railway, garage and duplo. He's the first grandchild on both sides so I'm being asked for present suggestions but also need ideas for his Father Christmas presents too. Any suggestions?

Great to come back from a busy day out to so many more suggestions. About to read through all the replies properly but loving walkie talkies and all of fixitups suggestions.

I agree that there's no need to go mad but as this is the first christmas he's actually looking forward to and he'll be the only child there (apart from his baby sibling) I suspect he'll be getting loads! Agree with luggage that he suddenly seems to be properly playing with toys now. He already has a kitchen and lots of food/shopping toys but would definitely recommend those for anyone who doesn't have them.

Have got pants, socks and a new toothbrush for his stocking. Going to look at schleich animals too but what other toys are you putting in stockings?

DS2 is three just before Christmas he is getting for birthday and Christmas some of these DS3 is getting but they are 16 months apart so they both play with everything,
micro scooter and helmet,
Chef outfit,
Doctor outfit,
Duplo cakes set,
Play nail vanish,
Imaginext castle, dragon and a few figures,
A doll and now a new pram for it as ours broke today,
Play Mobil camper van,
Waterplay canal set,
Slushy cup,
Magna doodle,
Little heroes batman set.

We're trying to keep presents to a minimum this year as last year he actually refused to open any more presents by the end of the day as he was so sick of it! First grandchild/big family.

From Father Christmas - Duplo Fire Station (this is the only thing he has asked for) and a stocking with a few bits including a shopping list game and some DVDs.

From us - Iron Man figure

Grandparents - Knight dressing up costume

Great Nan - a Wow toy car

Am going to ask my brother to get him some wellies.

Wooden fire engine and set of wooden firefighter dolls
Wooden toolkit in a case with drill (the drill is very very VERY much desired )
Pirate costume

Oh and my parents have got him a wooden cash till/money for playing shops (current favourite game!)

Then his stocking will contain...

Peppa Pig badge
Peppa Pig toothbrushes
Peppa Pig pants
small wooden spinning top
few wooden knights to go in his toy castle
Gruffalo mittens (with felt claws on the fingers )
Thomas the Tank top trump cards
chocolate money
chocolate Santa

stocking he has:

1. Night light from dot com gift shop
2. mini snack pot (pirate themed) from dot com gift shop
3. Catapult from dot com gift shop
4. Snowmen marshmallows from ikea
5. Songbird cards £3
6. Growing xmas pals from yellowmoon
7. Hedgehog ball from yellowmoon
8. Jungle animals from yellow moon
9. Racers cars from yellow moon
10. Peppa pig hand warmer
11. Aquabot

Some great ideas here. His stocking has mini scooby figures, whoppee cushion, glow in the dark ceiling stars, peppa snap cards, fireman sam sticker book, chunky crayons so far.

My ds will be 3.5 at Christmas and we've got him:

Fireman Sam fire station

Track master Thomas railway set
Some bits for his wooden railway

These are the things I know about

I've got my 3 yo Ds

Tom the Talking cat as he loves the app
Room on the broom sound book

He's also having a Minions teddy , Playmobil recycling truck.

IFAD - you can get wheels and things to put on cardboard boxes to make them into cars/trolleys etc etc. can't remember what called though

Rolobox!

Thanks for the stocking filler suggestions. Have added finger lights and a whoopee cushion to my list- both of which I think he'll love

A Trunki?

Stocking fillers - the Tinti bath bomb things that change the colour of the water and have a surprise toy inside; felt pens; notelet type things (Wild and Wolf do lovely quality ones in Mr Men/Gruffalo/Gruffalo's Child type themes); cup adn plate set; grown up china cup for hot chocolates, sachet of hot chocolate and indiviually wrapped biscuit (very grown up!); battery operated pencil sharpener; flannel; Mr Matey bubbles (take up lots of room in DS' enormous stocking); toothbrush and 3-5 toothpaste; pack of pants; pack of socks; DVD.

Play-doh tubs set of 4 (DS' stocking is enormous and it takes a lot of thought to make it look plump and full. I didn't think that through when I bought it ...)
